Category: Mercedes Sprinter, Vario, X-Class & more Transporter Forum

Hello together, for a long time the Sprinter with the 3.0 V6 with 190hp/440Nm was the strongest diesel on the transporter market. Currently Mercedes is overtaken. Iveco offers the 3.0 R4 with Biturbo and 205hp/470Nm. At Ford you get the 3.2 R5 with 200hp/470Nm. And even Fiat closes with the Ducato and 180hp almost to the Sprinter. From the range V-Class and Viano the 3.0 V6 with 224hp just disappears with the model change to the class 447 and is replaced by the OM651 with 190hp I’m starting to wonder where Mercedes really wants to go. Not that you absolutely have to have >200 horses in every transporter. But market leadership looks different to me. And against the background that you have already gone back 34hp in the 447 instead of putting a skip on it makes me think. What do you think? Where does it go with engine technology? Is there any engine from the Mercedes house that also has a fuel tank? with its high average load requirement on the engine at >200hp would still be stable? The OM651 probably not be in question?

Hello dear Sprinter_Fans So I drove with my sprinter on the autobahn about 30 km and then the car just went uas and didn’t start immediately or.. and went sofrt out again so after about 20 min I started it again then he stayed on but if I gave gas he went out again!!!! so waiting for ADAC, during the wait he went on and if I gave gas this time he didn’t go out so I started running in again ng not because he went out again!!!! Well then came AD AC and said that it could be the high-pressure pump but he tested it and got the genung current or pressure pure… according to his statement we were going to look again after the pressure sensor from the reel bar behind but the order is also injectopre all 4 new about 2 months ago so that we can have sprinter read out he showed us but no errors except on CAN bus anything with driving signal concerning the speedometer but he works to me how fast I’m going!!! so d ann we deleted everything and the front pressure sensor from the rail strip searched again the same problem…. so then I drove today because car really quenched and he didn’t go out but I don’t trust myself with the car anymore on the highway….. That with which he just went out the problem I had where the injectors were defective exactly the same but why does the problem occur again??? Engine runs well and round I don’t understand or CDI the TD had no Nicht so ne fucking problems cih please for help….

Hello, we have a 316er Sprinter Doka with platform construction, automatic, standard radio, 3.5to. Towing load, artificial leather, etc. A great vehicle, my employees are happy about it. For safety we have had in all our other (older) Sprinter a speed limit set to 130km/h. Why can’t you do this with the current model? 2 dealers could not do that, both said there is not yet. Only 120 and 160km/h. rhin I have chosen a third-party camera interface for a rear-view camera. The display for the camera is located in the rear-view mirror (also lights up briefly blue when the reverse gear is selected). This interface is still not unlocked by Mercedes, does someone know why or does it already work with someone? Can’t be that one orders something for several hundred euros and it doesn’t work. For a platform car there is no rear-view camera from the factory, so I wanted to try this solution. A good robust camera screwed under the platform to the frame, also to connect easier pendants. Be happy about your experiences on these topics. Thank you very much.

Hello, I’ve been driving the Vario for more than three years, among other things, and I have to say that this vehicle doesn’t deserve the star. It breaks what can be broken and also smaller defects (defected light bulbs, loose parts on the dashboard,….) accumulate extremely. This concerns all vehicles of the fleet and not only one. The oil consumption is astronomical and also considerable defects, as leaks in the brake line we had already three times. here and there unfortunately again a problem Only the engine was so far problem-free. Also the air conditioning is far too weak and does not manage to cool the vehicle to the set temperature. At yesterday’s temperatures in the sun it was finally overwhelmed. Even after hours it was still around 30 degrees. Mfg

Hello, I have for some time the following problem with my 313 Sprinter BJ. 06/2000 undzwar a while ago sporadically the abs and asr started to light up again on Erlisch after. Since the beginning of the week they light up now permanently. I then had the brake light switch replaced but the problem persists, then had the error read out with a known and the error is motor or relay pump faulty ! The error also comes after the delete again. that a mistake in the ABS control unit or at the hydroblock itself ? Cable break I also checked but everything ok.

Hello colleagues! I was on the road in Italy when front click-crack noises were noticed. On Saturday a mechanic in Verona told me Lima is broken. At speeds of over 1500 noise goes away. The Italian told me no problem until Germany. Now I am in Germany and have to take care of repair. I like to screw a lot and therefore need your advice. By the way, the Lima is oiled. How can I relax ribbed straps? Where is the tensioning roller at 316 CDI? At 312 D weiss ic Where do you get Lima in exchange, price? Can I exchange the bearings myself when ball bearings are in the ass? Of course I will also control carbon brushes. Where do you get carbon brushes for Lima from Sprinter 316 CDI? I will be very grateful for all the advice. By the way, at Daymler, such a repair will cost more than 700 euros.

Hello dear Sprinter municipality. I have a Mercedes Sprinter 208 cdi. This has a later installed DPF with which the vehicle reaches the EURO 3 standard. At the registration 3 years ago I also got the green badge. Now I noticed, though late, that I pay too much car tax. I pay for EURO 2 although according to ABE the conversion EURO 3 should result. I have now registered the emission key number 0451. Has one of you a plan of whether the righti G is? Greetings Dirk

Hello, for 2 days my Sprinter has been making a strange noise after the gas take away or tossing gas pedals. The noise comes only with operating warm engine. I did a short video where it is quite good to hear, starting from minute 1:25 starts with the noise I thought he was the turbo, therefore also this view at the video. The service consultant of Mercedes thinks that it is definitely not normal, have an appointment for tomorrow 1.10.15, there is the workshop master again in the house.

hello people, have another question. mb would like for 2 grips (a-pillar re. and li.) incl. installation 301€ incl. VAT. grips incl. mounting material for both sides cost 131€ without VAT. the installation is too expensive for me as early renter and you can certainly do that yourself. for consequential damage I have to we ourselves, because the retrofitting of the daimler ag is not tested or released. can someone please tell me, however, how I get the covering of the a-pillars and whether it is no matter at what height the grips are attached, or is there exrta predestined for it? thank you for your informations ??

We are on the road with our Sprinter 319 from 2014 with womo construction and have, like with our predecessor car, a 2006 crafter the same problem: After a operating time of 2-3 hours the blower noise changes and there is no air out of the openings. Blower runs audible and air cools (ventilation slots are ice cold) After a short turn off of the blower then it goes again for half an hour, after a longer break it goes then again for 2-3 hours. When we went 3 years ago with the crafter in the workshop, wanted to calculate 2 full working days (extension cockpit kpl ), but can not tell us if you would find the error. Without climate with dog in Croatia is not possible, therefore we ask for a tip. That must be a known problem? Thank you Dear greetings Jörg + Sandra
